zygoat Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 its fun to a point. I enjoy winning, but beating the crap out of the NL central gets boring. Bring on the Tigers, i want to play them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I dont like it The only interleague im excited for is cubs / sox. mayeb do two rivalry weekends per year. or something I hate how nl has no dh, and al has dh. just messes up the game.

RME JICO Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Interleague play is like a cool gadget for Christmas that is in the closet by New Year's. They should cut the number of series in half. It is fun seeing the AL pound the NL, but a couple extra series vs DET, CLE, and MIN would be more exciting IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 It gives the Sox more easy wins a year, I have no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The only two teams I want to see the Sox play are the Cubs because of the same town and the Brewers because they used to be in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I think it gives Sox fans an opportunity to see cities that they would not otherwise normally see. I would probably have not went to Cincinnati this year without the Sox playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'd much rather see the Sox pound the s*** out off crappy teams and visit different NL parks (been to Cincy and San Diego) than see the Sox go on another West Coast trip or that s***hole dome stadium in Tampa.

Now that's more like it, but would your opinion be different, if, as in most other years, the AL was getting beaten? I would like it if, except for the Cubs Sox, all the interleague games were played in one stretch during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 When Interleague play was created it was so fans could see teams and players they didn't get to see. I think they should now let fans see a style of ball they don't get to see. Have the DH for games in NL parks, and have the pitcher hit for games in AL parks.

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I like it, then again I'm in Chicago. In Chicago it's a great thing, overall around MLB? I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the number of series would be a good solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock4Life Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 ^like that idea also. but i its not getting tiring, but i think the unbalanced schedule is getting kinda rediculous, but i do like playing the tigers/twins/indians 19 times. but i can do without the royals. what are you going to do.

Benchwarmerjim Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I think it should be the 2 rivial weekends (Sox/Cubs, Twins/Brew Crew, etc) and then 2 other teams at random make a big production out of it. have 2 lottery machines, 1 with AL teams and 1 with NL teams. Then have a ball drawn from each machine and those 2 teams play each other. So that would be a total of 4 series per year. Enough Interleague games to make it fun, and enough room for more matchups against teams in your own league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Isn't 50% of our schedule currently division games? I always thought that the interleague games took away from other inter division games. It seems like we play the west more than the east this year for example. But I'm probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus what if somehow two teams "by the luck of the draw" kept playing each other for 5 years? Can we really trust the MLB? These series should get two series every year: Mets/Yanks Sox/Cubs A'/Giants Angels/Dodgers These series should only get one with HF alternating each season: Cards/Royals Brewers/Twins Reds/Indians Astros/Rangers D'Rays/Marlins O's/Nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think the ridiculous lopsidedness of it this year made it absurd. If it is more competitive, it makes sense. Normally I would love the AL to trash and stomp on the NL, but with the Twins fattening up by taking 16 out of 17 games from the NL, and the Tigers, BoSox and ChiSox winning by similar margins, it made it kind of ridiculous. NL fans ought to be embarrassed. Even the Royals fattened up against your teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
